Watch the comedy troupe gear up for their third album with a single that boasts high production and below average writing with some cameos which took up probably most of its budget. Listen, that was harsh. Personally, I have always been a fan of The Lonely Island and found their...

Iggy thinks their name is “stupid.” Spin calls them “racket-makers.” Pitchfork describes them as “reasonably lively.” And, yes, we took some of those notions out of context this morning (Iggy went on to say they had “good spirit”) but you can bet your sweet little scene-stomping fanny that the Jacuzzi...

Preparing to review the fourth self-titled album from The Bronx was actually my first time hearing them. I had heard of The Bronx, but haven’t been listening to their genre of music in nearly a decade. Maybe because of that, the first few listens made their music seem somewhat out...

For fifteen years, now, the best damn punk rock party the kids have ever known has descended upon the Downtown Fremont East District of Las Vegas for four days of music, gambling, drinking and…well, bowling and this year (May 24-27) looks to be one of the choicest expressions of mohican...

Well, hot damn, man. Just when you thought the burgeoning world of 3-Day Music Festivals was looking to leave the East Coast high and dry along comes Governors Ball. Now in it’s third year of operation, the festival has grown from a one to a two to a three day...

Things I missed in 2012 I think in other posts I have made it clear that I am not infallible. Despite my best wishes to model myself after an emotionless onboard sentient computer for a spaceship, I am merely one human aboard. This is why I can do these sorts...

Aleister X, the mysterious white-faced party protege of Andrew W.K., recently released the video for “LAX” (the first from his upcoming Half-Speed Mastered) on Noisey and it’s…um…well, it certainly is, isn’t it? Opening with a pop harmonic theme “We Will Never Die/Way Up High/In The Sky” to the scrolling declaration...

SXSW 2012 was – by all accounts – the closest thing to a Bacchanalia that Pinpoint (as a whole) has ever experienced. So much beer. So very much pork. Hot tubs and wet heat and rock and confusion and somehow, in the middle of all that, we managed to snag...
